Interaction networks of prion, prionogenic and prion-like proteins in budding yeast, and their role in gene regulation.

Prions are transmissible, propagating alternative states of proteins. Prions in budding yeast propagate heritable phenotypes and can function in large-scale gene regulation, or in some cases occur as diseases of yeast. Other 'prionogenic' proteins are likely prions that have been determine...
